St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-06-12

There has been no great stir in real
estate during the week just closed,
though sales were good, the transfers
aggregating in value for the six bust
ness days ending yesterday 1881, 245.
BY far the greater portion of this valua-
ton is represented in small deals in in
side property or lots in the recently
plated suburban parks. Compare
lively little is doing in acres,
the only large deal reported being
the purchase of 100 acres of the Sonba
tract lying north of the railroad at Hop
kins for $4,000 by Minneapolis syndi-
cate, in which l.. A. Condit, Charles
Robinson, E. j. Davenport and others
are Interested. The probability is that
the several factories located in the vari-
Gus suburbs begin operations. 1t is dur
ing this lull that the thoughtful investor
will pick up everything available.

One of the very excellent indications
which the season thus far gives is the
number of tirst-claSS structures that are
being built for wholesale firms. The
removal of the scaffolding from the
North Star Shoe company's new build
ing on Third street north reveals
facade of unusual beauty, while the
building is one of the most substantial
in the city. w. A. Dennis q Co. have
completed the elevation of the Newell
wholesale grocery house, corner
First avenue north and Third street,
and the design is creditable alike
to the architect and the city. A four
story block adjacent to the Newell build
ing presents several novel features,
while new tive-story stone front on
Third avenue north shows its substan-
tlal character in its face. Dennis IL Co.
are drawing plans for carriage repos-
itOry Oh First avenue south, between
Sixth and Seventh streets, to be four
stories high, with pressed brick front.
1t is most gratifying to see these mag
nifcent buildings erected for the rapid
growing jobbing interests of the city.
Among the many beautiful lakes
within easy distance of the city, few
have more natural attractions than Med
icine lake. During the past winter
Jacob Barge has bought up $50 acres,
giving three miles of shore on the south
east side of Medicine lake, which he is
now plating into half acre ,acre and five
acre lots, which he will shortly put upon
the market. The Barge tract is about
three miles from the OSSeO branch of
the Manitoba road, and two and one
half miles from the Minneapolis q Pa
cific. Tracts will be reserved for
home for aged people and for school
and church purposes.
